    Yep. It's the PS1 version from FF anthology. I got FFV just before PSN went down. The release dates here are messed up. It says FFV only has a Japan release but it's been out on EU PSN for over a month so I'm guessing it will be the same with FFVI. The PSP versions of FF I and FF II were released for a tenner each not long before the system went down too.

    Dead nation has a new patch up, 1.03 its 182 mb in size and its meant to be for future dlc. ( total of 229mb of patching since launch for those getting it )
    Sony know what games to give out for free alright, they'll be hoping for further revenue from its dlc now.

    Wow, ffv And ffvi are going to be available?! I love playing final fantasy on the psp, got half price codes for the first two from buying 3rd birthday and dissidia duodecim so I'll probably get them too for completeness. I'm going on a shopping spree when the store is restored! :)

    Yeah FFV is already available. It's pretty cool that every Final fantasy game from I-IX (except III) can be played on the PSP.( I got III for the DS though.) I'm tempted to get the new Dissidia and FFIV compilation but I'm waiting for them to go down in price as I already have FFIV on DS but it's in 3D which is kind of weird.

    Anyway, when I tried to log into PSN store this morning I was prompted to update my PSP firmware. It's still under maintenance.

    Class, it can't come back soon enough. I bought the FFIV collection a few weeks ago, but it came down to £15.99 or something the other day on amazon and I saw it for €24.99 in GAME last weekend.

    Playing through the new FF4 at the moment.

    Really gorgeous, new animations for summons, spells etc. Installed so its the least amount of loading time in any FF I have ever played (which is hadnly because there are alot of random battles).

    Enjoying it so far, had a number of deaths but you usually ace the boss fight the second time. (Never played FF4 before so it is all new to me).

    Not today now.

    Sony:
    “The latest information I have on PlayStation Store is that we are aiming to have it live by the end of May. Contrary to popular rumours, it will not be reopening tomorrow but we will let you know here as soon as the date is confirmed.”

    meh comon end of may! and as to letting us pick new batman etc NEVER gonna happen. that is such a high revenue stream. they are dangling reasonable games as carrots to entice us back to buying on the network. if i could pick any two games i'd go for tomb raider and the latest sonic!

    Will definately get Infamous, can't decide on what else though after watching the reviews. Is there much story in dead nation or is just mindless shooting?

    I'm unsure what to get, I already have Wipeout HD , I really like it, you have to load up your own playlist if you want the classic chemical brothers songs, but the ones off the released CDs dont match the ones of the original PS1, I'm sure the tracks are around somewhere on line.

    Didn't see this posted, but the Japanese package has been released (source: http://playstationlifestyle.net/2011/05/27/asian-psn-welcome-back-package-detailed-games-disappoint/)

    The Last Guy
    LocoRoco Cocoreccho!
    echochrome
    WipEout HD
    Hustler King

    The free games for the PSP, meanwhile, are as follows:

    Yuhshanokuseninamaikida or2 PSP the Best (What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!? 2)
    Everybody’s Stress Buster (Hot Shots Shorties)
    PATAPON2 PSP the Best
    LittleBigPlanet Portable
    LocoRoco -Midnight Carnival

    PS3 games are so-so (although the Last Guy is a nice if bastard hard freebie if we can actually access 'em!) but I think I prefer the PSP games - would prefer the eccentric likes of What Did I Do... / Patapon / LocoRoco to the fairly bland offerings we get!

    Yes theres a story, but its fairly basic. Its a fantastic game though. Got it on launch myself. Youve a nice range of weapons from the basic rifle to the shocker which pops the zombies head off, and theres the mine which is very useful to prepare for massive attacks. Zombies range from the standard weak guy, (a melee will kill him) to big guys like the jumper whos jumps high into the air and crushs you and and guy who has massive knives on his arms ( one tip and your dead ). The stats of the game are impressive two, it names out the best killer in each country among others.

    After much consideration I'm going to take Infamous and Wipeout, I remember playing Wipeout Fusion on the PS2 that was a great game

    Nobody has, they've decided to change from the 31st of May to 'end of the week'. No doubt that will change too.
